DT Swiss needles have never let me down

DT Swiss needles are my favorite brand. It's just a basic straight gauge and I prefer double butted bullets when available (available) due to the best strength to weight ratio, but the DT straight gauge has never let me down. I've had wheel failures, failed rims and broken alloy nipples, but have never had any material damage to the DT spoke itself. Considering the sheer number of broken bike parts I've left behind, it's worth noting that with such a common part, there aren't any critical ones there are failures. from Asia and I'm lucky if I have a season before I have to rebuild the whole wheel with (you guessed it) straight DT Swiss spokes.
